How a Radio-controlled Watch Works
What is a radio-controlled watch?
Calibration Signal
Your radio-controlled watch is designed to receive a time
calibration signal that contains standard time data, and adjust its
current time setting accordingly.
• The Japanese calibration signal (Call Sign: JJY) is maintained by
the National Institute of Information and Communications
Technology (NICT). It is a long wave signal transmitted 24 hours a
day from the Mt. Otakadoya transmitter (40kHz) located in
Tamura-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, and from the Mt. Hagane
transmitter (60kHz) located on the border between Saga
Prefecture and Fukuoka Prefecture.
• The U.S. calibration signal (Call Sign: WWVB) is transmitted by
the National Institute of Standards and technology from Fort
Collins, Colorado.

Reception Range
This watch is designed to receive the standard time calibration signal of Japan (JJY) or of the United States (WWVB). The signal that is
received depends on the current Home City setting.
• For information about selecting a Home City, see “Selecting Your Home City”. For information about city codes, see the “World Time City
Code List”.

After the watch receives the Standard Time signal, it performs
internal calculations to determine the current time. Because of
this, there may be an error of up to one second in the
displayed time.
• Under optimum conditions, the calibration signal should be
receivable up to 1,000 kilometers from the transmitter. Note
that the wave is relatively weak at distances greater than
500km, so reception may be poor at long distances.
• Under optimum conditions, the calibration signal should be
receivable up to 3,000 kilometers from the transmitter. Note
that the wave is relatively weak at distances greater than
1,000km, so reception may be poor at long distances.
• Geographic contours, nearby buildings, seasonal conditions, the time of day, can even make reception impossible even when you are within
range of the transmitter.
• Best reception is possible late at night.
Location
Receiving the Calibration Signal
❚ Time Required for Reception
❚ Receive Icon
Reception is difficult and may even be impossible in the locations
described below. Avoid such locations when performing signal
reception.
• You should think of your watch operating like a radio or TV when it
is receiving the calibration signal.
There are two methods you can use to receive the time calibration
signal.
• Auto receive (Reception is performed automatically at
midnight, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00 each morning.)
• Manual receive (You initiate reception using a button operation.)
• If reception is not successful for any of the normal auto receive
operations shown above, auto receive is performed one more
time at 5:00 a.m.
• The watch is set up for auto receive at the factory, so all you need to
do is to place it in a location that allows good reception each night.
A calibration signal receive operation takes anywhere from about
two to six minutes.
• Note that when “AT” (Auto Select) is specified as the transmitter
selection mode, signal reception can take up to 12 minutes.
• See “Configuring Transmitter Selection Mode Settings” for more
information.
The receive icon cycles from “Unstable”
through “Stable” as shown below while
reception is in progress. How far it cycles
depends on the signal strength. Keep
the watch in a location where reception
is stable while reception is in progress.
Among or near buildings
Near high-voltage lines
❚ To position the watch for optimum reception
Remove the watch from your wrist and place it somewhere so its
top (12 o’clock side, where the antenna is located) is facing
approximately in the direction of the signal transmitter. Keep the
watch away from metal objects.
Inside a vehicle
(automobile, train, plane, etc.)
In a location where there is
radio interference
(construction site, airport, etc.)
Next to a household
appliance or office equipment
(TV, speaker, fax, computer,

• All other buttons besides D are disabled during signal reception.
When reception is successful
The watch terminates reception and adjusts the current time. Next it beeps
and then displays the date and time that the adjustment was performed.
• At this time, the second hand will adjust automatically to the digital time.
• After the date and time of the adjustment appear on the display,
press the D button to return to the Timekeeping Mode. The
watch will also return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if
you do not perform any operation for about one or two minutes.
Reception Error (ERR Indicator)

“ERR” when signal reception is unsuccessful for some reason.
• The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if
you do not perform any operation for about one or two minutes.
Unstable
Stable
• Even under optimum reception conditions, it can take about 10
seconds for reception to stabilize.
• Use the receive icon to check reception status and to
determine the best location for signal reception.
• Note that weather, the time of day, surroundings, and other
factors can all affect reception.
❚ Analog Hands and Signal Reception
Second Hand
The second hand moves to the 12 o’clock position when signal
reception starts.
• It resumes normal movement after reception is complete.
• Pressing a button to stop reception causes the second hand to

Calibration Signal Reception
Precautions
• Auto reception can be performed while the watch is in the
Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode only.
• Signal reception is cancelled if an alarm starts to sound while it is
being performed.
• Pressing any button while auto reception is in progress will cause
the watch to beep and then exit the receive operation.
• The watch’s calendar shows dates up to the year 2099.
Attempting a receive operation after that causes an error.
• Make sure you are within the range of the calibration signal
transmitter before performing the reception operation. Remember
that geographic contours, nearby buildings, seasonal conditions,
the time of day, can even make reception impossible even when
you are within range of the transmitter.
• Proper reception may be impossible if there is something blocking
the signal. If reception is unsuccessful, try again.
• This watch is designed to adjust its current time setting in
accordance with the calibration signal transmitted in Japan and
the United States only. Note that you will need to make your own
adjustments when using this watch outside of Japan or the United
States, or in any area that is outside the range of the receivable
time calibration signal transmitters.
• When the watch is unable to adjust its time signal using the
calibration signal for some reason, timekeeping accuracy is within
±15 seconds per month.
• Strong electrostatic charge can cause timekeeping error.

Troubleshooting
The watch cannot receive the time calibration signal.
• Is the signal being transmitted?
Though the Japanese calibration signal (Call Sign: JJY) is
continually transmitted by the National Institute of Information
and Communications Technology (NICT) in theory, it may
sometimes be interrupted for periodic maintenance work, or
because of lightening or other problems.
• Are you within the reception range of a transmitter?
See “Reception Range” for information about areas where the
watch can receive the signal.
• Is there something in the immediate area that may be interfering
with reception?
Even if you are within the reception range of a transmitter,
objects between you and the transmitter or electrical noise can
interfere with reception. Avoid such areas during signal
reception. See “Location” for more information.
• Do you have the correct Home City code selected?
Remember that auto receive is not performed unless TYO
(Japan), NYC (New York), CHI (Chicago), DEN (Denver), or LAX
(Los Angeles) is selected as the Home City. Select the correct
Home City code using the procedure under “Selecting Your
Home City”.
• Is auto receive turned off (OF)?
Use the procedure under “Configuring Auto Receive Settings” to
turn on auto receive.
• Is the watch in any mode other than the Timekeeping Mode or
World Time Mode during the auto receive times (midnight, 1:00
a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m.)?
Auto receive is performed only when the watch is in the
Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. It is not performed if the
watch is in any other mode.
Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the hourly
time signal and current time are slightly off.
• After the watch receives the time calibration signal, it performs an
internal decoding process before updating its time setting.
Because of this, the time setting may be slightly off (within one
second).
Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the current
time is one hour fast.
• Do you have summer time (DST) turned on (ON)?
Use the procedure under “Configuring Summer Time (Daylight
Saving Time) Settings” to turn off summer time.
Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the current
time setting is wrong.
• Is the correct city code selected for your Home City?
If you are in Japan, you should have TYO selected for your Home
City. For other areas, select the correct Home City code using the
procedure under “Selecting Your Home City”.
Timekeeping Mode
The current auto receive on (ON)/off (OF) setting does not
